This chapter examines labor movements in postwar French Africa and analyzes the dialectics of decolonization. It describes the transition of the French West African labor movement from a class-centered, internationalist organization from about 1945 to 1955 to a nationalist organization that insisted that workers subordinate their own concerns to the emerging national struggle. The chapter also provides a dynamic analysis of the relationship between the political strategies and discourses of a colonial regime and social and political movements with African colonies.
